Booked by 8 families in Acton, CA

Hi parents! I am currently a college student at Glendale college studying for surgical technician. I enjoy being a babysitter and have babysat since I was 14 years old now. I have babysat church families, family friends & even my 3 younger siblings which are all boys! I have done it all starting from driving/picking up from school, practices, tutoring, etc. I can also house or pet sit. I am unfortunately allergic to cats but have a big love for dogs:)

“Leilani was fantastic with our toddler boys! She was punctual and jumped right in, engaging them right away. Our 3 year old son can be reserved, but she kept him so entertained he didn’t want to stop playing! She also did great balancing the needs of both toddlers so that our 1 year old would feel included. She was super pleasant to interact with and we are looking forward to having her again!”

Hi! My name is Justine. I am 30 years old. I have been babysitting for over a decade and have 5 years of professional nannying experience. I have recently relocated from Chicago to the Los Angeles area. That being said, my experience ranges from working with toddlers to school aged children. I have helped with homework extensively throughout my career. Other responsibilities I have held in the past include cooking meals and shuttling kids to their various activities. I also was in charge of other household duties such as: creating grocery lists, shopping, etc. I am a punctual, professional and hands on nanny. My goal is to create a safe, positive space for children to develop into the best versions of themselves. I am a patient, loving, and committed nanny to all of my kids. Outside of childcare, my interests include reading, self education, cooking, gardening, herbalism, and stopping to sniff the flowers. I look forward to speaking with you, Justine

Hello, My name is Jennifer. I have over 10+ years experience with kids of all ages. I started babysitting at the young age of 12 years old. I've always enjoyed spending time or teaching new things to young children. I was a tutor for 2 years and taught ages 5-13 years old. At age 15 I was involved with a nonprofit organization based on young kids and teenagers who were involved in alcohol or drugs. I've always found it fascinating to be able to make a difference in our community and help kids in need. While in college, I invested my weekends working as a Disney Princess for many Birthday Parties. I would dress up as all types of characters and perform for kids, teenagers and adults. When I wasn't in school, I worked part-time as a Swim Instructor. I instructed all ages from infants, toddlers, kids and teenagers. I was also involved as a Birthday Party coordinator during the weekends. I would host events and pool parties while supervising all staff and lifeguards. I'm also very active and was involved in sports during my High School years. I played Volleyball & Softball. I was Varsity Caption for my Cross Country Team & also involved in Dance. I have a very strong passion for sports and enjoy going on hikes on my spare time. I will be the dearest friend and most caring sitter that your child will adore. I have no problem meeting with you for an interview or using Facetime to discuss any of your concerns. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your wonderful family :)

“She is warm, patient, and genuinely caring, and it’s clear how much she loves working with children. Our child absolutely adores her and is always happy, comfortable, and engaged in her care, which gives us so much peace of mind as parents.”

Hi! I’m Cielo, a caring and energetic nanny with over 15 years of experience working with children. I’m currently looking to connect with families who need occasional date night help or part time support. I truly love working with kids and believe in creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where they can thrive. I enjoy cooking healthy, kid-friendly meals and keeping little ones active and engaged, whether that’s through outdoor play, yoga (I’m a certified yoga teacher!), reading together, or board games. I’m comfortable around pets (I adore both dogs and cats) and always happy to help maintain a calm, positive household atmosphere. I especially enjoy working with children ages 4 and up who are curious, creative, and full of energy! If you’re looking for a reliable, compassionate, and mindful sitter who brings joy and structure to your child’s day, I’d love to connect with your family!

“Cielo was amazing! My kiddos adored her. She was super sweet and kind, on time, helpful and communicated perfectly. I would recommend her to any family in need of a reliable sitter ”

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
